Hi,
I recently put my hand up for some help, used the company's counselor, it helped. Then went and got some private assistance as well, took some time off flying. Now i'm better, itching to get recurrent, have been applauded by my DAME; not so much the company as they had an oldskool understanding.
People just go through rough patches in their lives, we are human that makes us amazing at what we do, but it also makes us the biggest threat to safety. A pilot getting help is much much much safer than one avoiding the issues. They need to encourage responsibility...
Do the old BIG PICTURE check of the industry;
1. Shift work
2. Stressful - Checks, performance, environmental
3. Hot
4. Isolated
5. Confined work space
Be a man or a woman, talk to someone about your problems.
